Dean I didn’t show Mickey the post because Phil Grant brought a copy of the echo with Mickey receiving a present from Truckline for being the 20000 driver. I remember Pete Gower getting the present for the 10000 driver.

Thanks Saviem pleased you enjoy the site I only wish I could encourage a few more of the old Axminster drivers to join in and add their own memories and perhaps some pictures, here’s hoping.

This is what used to happen if you were on side the road with a puncture people stopped to help , Jack Dunham who worked for Central Road Transport stopped to help me in Italy.
